(CNSNews.com) – Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit on June 5 to obtain records from the Department of Education after the department reported the Obama administration’s $7 billion School Improvement Grants (SIG) program had “no significant impacts on math and reading test scores, high school graduation, or college enrollment.”

The lawsuit was filed in federal court in the District of Columbia because the Education Department did not comply with a FOIA request by Judicial Watch in April.

The strains of the stirring martial music have faded away, so to the rumbling of tanks, personnel carriers and the well-timed clacking of boots on Red Square to commemorate Victory Day, the commemoration of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany, but Soviet-era myths continue. There is even a new twist to enhance Putin inspired Soviet reverie. Putin’s use of Soviet mythology affects not only the Russian people but also the entire world.

One of the most dearly held myths inherited from the Soviet era is the story of the people of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR, Soviet Union) standing virtually alone against, and finally vanquishing, the invading Nazi hordes of Adolf Hitler. While

The Boyertown Area School District, without parent or student notification, made an unwritten change to school policy and opened its sex-specific restrooms and locker rooms to students of the opposite sex.

The Berks County Republican Women are honored and humbled to announce that Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Gale is supporting their effort to restore the traditional policy of sex-specific bathrooms and locker-rooms based on biological sex. “As an elected-official committed to preserving conservative values and upholding public-safety, Commissioner Gale’s leadership will help shed light on the priority of ensuring every child’s right to privacy and protection,” explained Carla D’Addesi, President of the Berks County Republican Women.

It’s been nearly 40 years since Californians revolted against runaway taxation by voting for Proposition 13, which reduced property taxes. But today California still has the 10th highest burden in the country when property tax revenues are compared to median household incomes, the Register reported.

What do a failing school, a recently passed law granting parents greater authority in demanding change from underperforming schools, and a petition signed by a majority of parents seeking to start a new charter school in response to the failing public school have in common? All of that still isn’t enough to stop a local government from preventing parents from having the power of choice. California’s Anaheim Elementary School District sought to throw out a petition signed by parents attempting to convert a failing school into a charter school. Fortunately, an appellate court rejected the school district’s request and the battle will continue.

There are many reasons why the PA Liberty Alliance supports school property tax elimination, but at the core of our support for this measure is a basic desire to be treated uniformly and fairly as taxpayers, as well as a belief in our right to be secure in our homes without fear of the government confiscating it.

The goal has always been simple…expand the tax base and tax us all exactly the same way. The school property tax results in a highly regressive, arbitrary, and unfair system where people pay extremely different rates even if income levels and home values are the
